Rochester Hills, MI, USA: Energy Conversion Devices Selected to Supply 4.8MW Project

Energy Conversion Devices has been selected by Recurrent Energy to deliver 4.8MWp of solar generating systems for eight separate building rooftops at ProLogis Park Sant Boi in Barcelona and ProLogis Park Alcala in Madrid, Spain.

ECD will be supplying its UNI-SOLAR photovoltaic (PV) laminates and providing development resources through its subsidiary Solar Integrated. The solar power systems will be owned by Recurrent Energy, a distributed power company and a leading provider of solar energy, and installed on rooftops by Recurrent Energy leased from ProLogis, a leading global provider of distribution facilities.

Construction on the project is expected to start in October 2009. ProLogis, a leading global provider of distribution facilities, currently has UNI-SOLAR system installed on facilities in the U.S., Spain and France.

"We are very pleased to continue our relationship with UNI-Solar and SIT Through this project," said Drew Torbin, director of global renewable energy for ProLogis. "We look forward to working with the company closely over the next several months as we bring this project on line."

"This new agreement is the first example of the benefits of combining our leading UNI-SOLAR PV laminate product with the rooftop solar expertise of Solar Integrated. This project also demonstrates how we will work closely with Recurrent Energy and our key channel partners - in Soprema this case and its dedicated subsidiary Solardis - to provide innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers and their roofs, "said Mark Morelli, president and chief executive officer for ECD.

For this project, Solar Integrated will engineer, procure, and construct the solar PV systems totaling 4.8 megawatts for Recurrent Energy. The PV system will consist of UNI-SOLAR laminates combined with the SOPRASOLAR complex - A bituminous waterproofing system, and will be applied directly on the roofs. Installation will be done by Soprema's local installer Master Renovables.
